Government Keynote 2: AI and Data – What's the Connection?
  • Natalie Evans Harris, State Chief Data Officer, Maryland
Everywhere you look, agencies are exploring the role of AI in making their operations more efficient. But for AI to work, it must be built on good data. In this keynote, you will learn from a government leader about the AI and data relationship.

Lightning Talk 3: How Better Device and Data Management Support Disaster Recovery
  • Mike Arrowsmith, Chief Trust Officer, NinjaOne
On a typical day, the task of managing all the devices and their data on the network is a challenging one.

In this lightning keynote, an industry leader shares how agencies can ensure that all devices are fully operational and secure, no matter the circumstance.

Lightning Talk 4: Why Agencies Need to Get Serious About Data Recovery
  • Don Maruca, Vice President Federal, Commvault
Given the heightened risks to government data, agencies need to think not just in terms of security but also resilience.

In this lightning keynote hear from an industry leader who will share how a zero-trust network architecture can go a long way toward improving data security.
